Shingle Shanty Pond holds 78 acres in the Raquette Lake township — backcountry water with no road access and limited visitation outside of snowmobile season. The pond sits in mixed hardwood forest south of the main Raquette Lake corridor, accessible via seasonal logging roads and winter trails that see more traffic from sleds than summer hikers. No fish stocking records on file, no lean-tos, no formal trailhead — this is working forest land with easement access, the kind of water you find by studying the DeLorme and asking around at the hardware store in Inlet. Worth noting for paddlers willing to portage in during low-snow months or anyone mapping remote brook trout habitat.
